What I'm generally amazed by is MatLab. They went from a general Math IDE to being an actual physics simulation environment...that now transpiles the symbolic flow based programming view to an external C-compatible library.
With this solution they are the only alternative, dominating whole industries with it. There are so many engineers with a no-coding background that literally build programs that end up as parts of firmwares on controllers...through MatLab.
Whether that's good or not (from the security point of view) is up for discussion. But I'm kind of amazed by the "compiler pipeline" that they achieved.
Imagine something like this combined with LLVM and an LSP based backend that also integrates a no-code way to implement fuzz and unit tests.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Matlab isn’t umm... no code! It’s a programming language All low-/no-code solutions are programming languages. Some of them are visual and lots of them have limited tooling support outside of a narrow solution stereotype, and they tend to defy superficial expectations about programming languages, but they all are programming in one form or another.
